The snow has returned to Austria and it should keep snowing right through the weekend across the country.

Lech in the Arlberg was the first to report one of the biggest snowfalls to day – 20cm of fresh snow in 24 hours.
The new snow is good news after an often warm past week which led to ‘Spring Like’ conditions – but not sunny spring like – it was stodgy and raining at Kitzbuhel for example on Tuesday

There has been some snow during the past week though, even without the current bigger snowfalls. Many areas received 5-156cm of snow in total, with Kaprun reporting the biggest 7 day accumulation of 29cm, just under a foot.
Base depths are holding up too with 30-70cm on lower slopes at many resorts and 1-2m on upper runs at others. Only some, including Mayrhofen, say they have none left at resort level whilst Obertauern as 1.1m at their hither base.
